About Watertown crime rates

Watertown is safer than the majority of cities, towns, and villages in America (60%) and also has a lower crime rate than about 60% of the communities in Connecticut, according to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI crime data. How risky is that? Your chance of becoming a victim in Watertown is one in 62 based on the total crime rate (violent and property crimes, combined). In America overall, your chance of becoming a victim of crime is 1 in 51.

Additionally, NeighborhoodScout analyzed all cities and towns in America with a similar population size to Watertown, and we found that the crime rate in Watertown is one of the lowest in the nation for its size. This means Watertown is one of the safest places in America in which to live for its size, a very important finding.

The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.

Now let us turn to take a look at how Watertown does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Watertown.

Importantly, our analysis shows that Watertown has one of the lowest violent crime rates in all of America, across cities and towns of all sizes. Murder, forcible rape, armed robbery and aggravated assault happen far less frequently here than in most places. Your chance of becoming a victim? Just one in 7220. Watertown's violent crime rate is just 0 per 1,000 residents.

Moreover, the rate of property crime in Watertown – burglary, larceny ($50 or more), grand theft auto, and arson – is 16 per 1,000 residents. This is about average for all cities and towns in America of all population sizes.
